Thanks everyone - that's pretty much what my wife said too. She was just trying to get the word out in the hope we'd reach whoever had them. She's happy to know they're on their way back to her. Cheers.

Woo-hoo! Wife has apparently been advised colors have turned up a bit further north & are to be sent down. Not sure of the details at this stage. So looking like a happy ending. Thanks Chief &. others for your help - much appreciated.

Thanks guys - the jockey could shed no light (just left them in the room I expect). And no - my wife's always left it to the trainer to bring & collect the colours for race day - and hold them pending the next need for them. I guess that makes sense as that way the trainer always knows they control & pack what's needed each day at the track - whether or not the owner is present. And to be fair it's worked just fine up until now!

Thank you Chief. The wife did make contact & someone did look at the course for her which was kind (Paul I think she said?). Unfortunately that wasn't until a couple of weeks later - the day her horses were due to race again. She wasn't aware prior to that they had been lost. Even so, she still thought they'd turn up though, once the the search commenced .... Any assistance or ideas gratefully accepted.

Just flick me a txt 0274 402032 if you can help. And if we wont end up meeting on course & you end up having to send them to us - I can provide address & reimburse for courier. R.

Thanks very much Curious for the info. Shad - 100%! The wife felt sure they'd been left behind or picked up by another trainer's rep by mistake & that they'd find their way back to us. Surely! The colours are important to her ...she's holding onto a bit of hope but running out of avenues. If anyone has discovered a stray set of mauve colours in their gear or knows where they could be - we'd be grateful to hear from you!

'Morning all. No luck so far. Disappointing. So my next request for info from the good ppl here is who have you guys used to manufacture your racing silks here in NZ? Cheers, Ross.

Sure do Chief! Hvnt been into an actual TAB for a while though - nor seen pods at courses. If I did encounter a pod however - I'd like to think I'd manage to wrangle it. Especially if I made a start directly after the running of the previous race ....😜

Thanks very much. Could have been scooped up by mistake at the end of the day - grateful if anyone who might know where they are could text me 0274 402032. Cheers. Ross

Hi managed to get a photo up now which hopefully helps. The good people at the course have looked for us but no luck so far. Just hoping someone discovers them somewhere. The mare was in the second to last race @Hawera that day - & they've been missing in action since. Thanks for letting us post this. Cheers. Ross

Hi all - hoping someone out there can help find my wife's colors. Last seen at Hawera races 18 May. Thinking someone may have picked them up by mistake - they're mauve with black seams & a scarlet hat. In a mauve bag the same color & named Melinda Rix. Will try to post a photo later. Please reply if you can help- it's her only set of colors so she's really hoping they turn up Thanks. Ross
